The Greatest Invention of the Age,
INDESTnUCTIDLE FUEL CARTRIDGE,

The Fuel Cartridge is the only perfect device
ever Invented by which kerosene Oil can be
used as fuel in any ordinary cook stove, range
or heater. The Fuel Cartridge IS q metal cyl
inder packed with Incombustible material,
with absorbent qualities sufficient TO absorb
one pint of oil. which will burn one hOnr
and produce enough heat to cook meal. or
warm q room, without the aid OF coal. wood,
or other fuel. NO DANGER.
There is not the slightest danger in using
kerosene with the Fuel Cartridge, as from its
oDen porous form IL conmOt explode and is
therefore no more dangerous than Coal or
Wood. HOW USED.
The Fuel Cartridge is so simple that but
brief directions for its use are necessary. With
each cartridge is tin can and all that is neces-
sarY Is TO fll the can with oil suffient 70 cover
cartridge; allow ii to soak three minutes, or as
muchlouge as you desire, then with an or
dinary poker place it in your stove on piece OF
paper light the paper and your fire is ready
After the cartridge is fairly burning shut your
front drafts and regulate with dampers in
stove pipe. When not in use the cartridge
should be kept in the can. 1t is not necessary
to remove coal ashes from the frebox or your
stove il the cartridge is used after coal has
been burned, as the remaining ashes will raise
the cartridge into position, when 1T will give
more intense heat to the top stove,

IT does seem as if some people
never would be able to tolerate en-
thusiastic religious action on the
part of others. Here they have
been prosecuting Rev. Richard
Hunt, colored preacher, in the
Hermitage district near Nashville,
Tenn. Brother Hunt had built up
little congregation and establish
ed a small church. lie wanted to
hold revival, but..the slight ex-
pense attached to lights. ETC., could
not be met. lie stole COW from
one of his neighbors. took it to
Nashville, sold it for $15 and went
back and started his revival. He
had secured fifteen converts and six
more promised mourners on the
anxious seat when the constable
came along, closed up the revival
and carried Hunt to Nashville,
where he is now in Jail. This ac
tion on the part of the constable
will probably result in discourag-
ing Mr.. Hunt in his effort to main
tain church and rescue sinners.
1t is very evident that these Ten
nessee constables and judges are an
irreligious set. Now if brother
Hunt had stolen cow for personal
purposes it would have been all
right to put him in Jail, but when
he did evil that good might come
out Of it he should have been re-
warded rather than punished. We
have no doubt that the fifteen con-
verts had all been either chicken
thieves or cattle thieves, and to
think that he had lessened the
number by fifteen is a great thing.
Brother Hunt was taken too
soon or the probability is that he
might have taken up a collection
and made restitution. Or his case
might have been like the Irishman
who went to the priest for absolu-
ton. He had stolen Mrs. Maloney's s
pig and was directed to return the
pig or the value. He replied : but
your Reverence / have nayther the
pig nor the money. The '.father"
declined to absolve him and said !:
"Ah, Pat, when you come before
st. Peter and meet Mrs. Maloney,
and the pig what will you say p
Will Mrs. Maloney be there your
Reverence ?'' asked Pat. eyes,
said the priest. Aud will the pig
be there /? EYES," again from the
priest. ssWell, your Reverence, "
I'll just say: "Mrs. Maloney take
yer ould pig" So We have no
doubt Brother Hunt would have
made restitution (at the day Of
iudgment) and we think the off,
cials Of Tennessee are an impious
set-we always thought so.
